In early September, I started a weekly on-line photography course called A Year With My Camera by Emma Davies. I've completed part 1 (6 weeks). I'm thoroughly enjoying the course and I've learnt loads about photography. I highly recommend it to beginners and anyone who wants to fill in any gaps in their photography knowledge.
Here's one of the shots I took for week 2's homework about aperture priority.
There's only one problem .... photographer's knee ... investigating different shooting angles in Part 2 has exascerbated it. Fortunately it's a minor condition, symptoms are damp and/or dirty patches mostly on left knee but occasionally the right as well.
So far the list of things affecting my knee(s) have been:
Squatting down instead of dropping to one knee alleviates it but then there's the problem of getting back up again ... #mustgetfitter.
So far, a good wash has solved all flare ups but I am thinking of preventative measures whilst I work on improving my leg muscles. I'm considering taking kneelers out with me like those used by gardeners. Any other tips would be appreciated ;-)

So far the list of things affecting my knee(s) have been:
- Mud
- Wet pavement
- Loose grass clippings
- Sea water
- Sand (least problematic, just brushes right off)
- Morning dew
